I think this song is about a man winning the heart of a woman without winning over her head. He continually reminds her that "instincts are misleading" and that you shouldn't "think what you're feeling". The imagry of a fish swimming in her veins says that he was able to reach her heart but couldn't pass the dam to her brain.
